Impact

The impact of the "Selenium Grid Console - Detect" module is primarily informational. It helps identify the presence of the Selenium Grid Console panel, which can assist in assessing the security posture of the target system. However, it does not directly exploit or cause any harm to the system.

How does the module work?

The "Selenium Grid Console - Detect" module works by sending HTTP requests to specific endpoints associated with the Selenium Grid Console. It uses matching conditions to determine if the panel is present and accessible.

For example, it may send a GET request to the "/grid/console" or "/console" paths. The module then checks the response body for specific words like "Grid Console" and "view config" to confirm the presence of the Selenium Grid Console. Additionally, it verifies that the response status is 200 (OK).

The module's matching conditions ensure that both the expected content and response status are met, indicating the successful detection of the Selenium Grid Console.
